Hi all, I bought some SPA Steel Coil Wagons from a member off here recently which all came with there loads of coiled steel.
I also bought OBA Open Wagon's with slots in as though to hold a load, can I ask if anyone knows which load they should carry as I have looked all over the web (as far as I can at least) but can not find an answer .....

Your help would be greatly appreciated and even more if someone could tell me where too get these wagon loads from...

Cheers Andy.

Good luck with your search!

Hi Andy,

I have lots of these wagons and I have never seen a specific load for them from Farish.

In real life they carry a whole variety of things.  Generally, "engineering" stuff like trunking, cables, concrete slabs, bricks, bags of cement etc.

But I think they were also used for steel trains, so you could use them with your SPAs, perhaps carrying steel slabs or coils made up using plasticard or wire.

I have also seen them carrying logs, that you could make by sawing up twigs.

So sorry I can't help directly, but hope that the above is at least of interest.

Cheers  Jon 

PS: On Lofthole mine carry spoilt ballast, which isn't prototypical, but no one has ever noticed.  That's our secret - don't tell anyone!

I like the one with the plated doors and carrying a Class 67 cab.

That's on my list to create one day, have the wagon and a 67 body so just need to get filling, cutting and painting.
